Keyboard focus border always painted around message view items

Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

This doesn't happen in normal GtkTreeViews, but the dotted keyboard focus border is always there in Evolution's message view. Frankly, it's unsightly.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. What you're suggesting then? disable at all ? Disable just when it doesn't have the focus?, I like that evo feature.

Why do you like it in evo but not like it in Rhythmbox, Nautilus, Synaptic, or any of the other applications that use a list view?

It's inconsistent with everything else, that's why it should be ridden!

I'll forward this upstream to see what the developers think.

With GtkTreeView, the keyboard focus ring is only painted when keyboard browsing. This same behaviour should be in Evolution's message list widget.
